USAF F-35s exiting the Mach Loop in style - 4K 

Happy you liked it. Cheers 👍

That super Hornet crew knew that the photographers would be out.

If you haven't read or listened to David McCullough's Wright Bothers, I can't recommend it strongly enough.

@@LRRPFco52 Seconded.

​@@LRRPFco52 Thanks for the recommendation, just put it on my queue. 👍

@@niko7903 That book on audio is one of the best I've ever read/heard. I've been in Aerospace & Defense since the 1970s and had no idea about the true Wright Bros story.

careful...You're going to get some angry Brazilian commenters in here.....

Happy you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching 👍

F35 pulls 9g over the world’s deafest sheep.

Many thanks ✈️👍

Big hugs from bohemian forest and thank youuuu too.

​@DafyddPhillips do you have a website wherr you share your images? I would love that picture for my desktop

@@PhilipGaffney I do post most photos on my Flickr page. Here’s a link flic.kr/p/2nU7yj7

@@DafyddPhillips thank you. Genius of a photographer 👏🏻

I'm sure. Don't let the best thing about the whole situation? Why can't you be there? Fly those at 35 why can't you be there? What's the story? What is the excuse my my daddy oh my Mommy oh? Why look at it why not be there?

​@@israelgonzales5992that's exactly what I was thinking....

The images starting at 4:09 are probably indeed wall plastered far and wide. Some great shots!

Yeah, I would love to see a video of these pilots being delivered their framed pictures so we can see them smile. At 4:10, the "Hi Mom" is great. Would love to see his mom's reaction. Also, those pics with the wing-tip vortices on the 35, - [Chef's kiss] magnifique. I have to make the pilgrimage to the Mach Loop before I die.

@@israelgonzales5992 wat

Thats awesome. Complete sensor awareness. I'd imagine those Iranian F4 pilots would have loved that ability.

Thank you and happy you enjoyed watching 👍

😂 you want to see something surreal go find a video of an f22. In 2008 i saw an f22 doing insane things at langly afb airshow

Hollywood went from Tony Stark attending F-35 meetings to an F-35 shooting down The Hulk while the helicarrier was loaded with Quin Jets.

Technically, F35s aren't piloted by the crew. The aircraft flies itself and configures itself, and the pilot just tells the plane where he/she wants to go. The computers make nearly all the decisions on how to deliver the pilot's wishes. Very different from the previous generations of fighter aircraft where the pilots controlled most things directly with assistance from computers for stability.

@thesushifiend Thanks for explaining. That sure helps to explain the 70 - 90 million price tag. Trouble shooting and maintenance must be a nightmare.

💯👍

Agree really seems like they are pushing them now. It's grown on me too. Wasn't a fan at all.

They are more maneuverable than a super hornet with a thrust/weight ratio that can rival even an F16 when fuel levels are matched. This thing is an absolute beast, and the best fighter in the world bar none. The F22 doesn't have its MADL, IRST, helmet display, or radar capabilities, and many sources in the air force have said that the F35 is even stealthier than the F22,

I see them every day and I still don't like them.

35 engines in one homie!

Many thanks Richard 👍

Many thanks 👍

Thanks for watching Michael 👍

I saw the low roads and homes there I bet they rattle the windows and ears quite well!

They call her "Fat Amy" but she's a sexy beast, so we should dub her "Phat Amy" hence forth. I know I shouldn't wish for conflict, but when we have war machines like this, a hammer that would make Thor blush, - it's so very hard to not see every bad-actor state as a bunch of nails begging to be pounded. So to thy enemies I say, please F around, - because we're dying for you to find out.

Many thanks Appreciate you watching

Thank you very much, appreciate you watching

Glad you enjoyed it! Many thanks for watching 👍

Must of been a great experience!! Thanks for watching 👍

Many thanks for watching. Appreciated 👍

Thanks for watching

Mine as well, just have to figure out the logistics to make sure they are flying when I’m there.

It almost sounds like a TIE fighter at times

@@mattheweagle223 Thank you, I could not place that sound. That's it exactly. It's that high pitched whine.

Many thanks Gordon. 👍

Thanks Gordon! Me too my man (25 years). I miss the Air Force....definitely a way of life in the 80' and 90's.

Glad you enjoyed it Thanks for watching Christopher.

Thanks for your kind words Ron. Much appreciated 👍

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks Stephen, appreciated 👍

Happy you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching

Thanks Scott. It was difficult to like the f35 in the early days but yes it’s come of age now and shines 👍

Happy you enjoyed and thanks for watching. Appreciate 👍

Happy you like them Thanks for watching 👍

It really did

The F-22 is still around

@@mrjaycam18su 35 is better

@@IamTheRealZODIAC the 22 is a Ferrari and the 35 is like a nice pickup truck

@@mrjaycam18 lol except the fact a su35 can out turn anything Lockheed makes 🤣

@@IamTheRealZODIAC my bad I initially misread I thought we were talking about the F35. The Su didn’t even register. With that said it may be but I don’t really get into foreign aircraft so I wouldn’t be able to argue against you.

Many thanks 👍

Glad you enjoyed it Many thanks Dave 👍

Thank you! It can be a magical place when the planes fly through ✈️✈️✈️ Appreciated 👍

I offered him numerous times to carry his camera equipment, but he never said "sure I've got lots". Wouldn't that be an experience?

F35 is a dog😂 f22 can break the sound barrier without after burner f35 cant f22 also has a faster top speed and is far more manuverable

​@@moparjr89 Always the people who know nothing that talk the most shit

​@@aristosachaion_ I was thinking to myself "tell me you know absolutely nothing about fighter planes without telling me..."

@@moparjr89 mans thinks actual war planes work like ace combat games. max top speed and maneuverability mean nothing in modern combat. the 22 was a mistake of an aircraft to build, which is why they dropped it for the 35 asap. missiles are too good. stealth is too powerful, a single platform that can multi-roll is always more useful than a dedicated fighter when the primary function of a dedicated fighter (winning a turn/energy dogfight) is obsolete. and yeah, "the age of the dogfight is over" has been said before, and the phantom suffered for it. but that was primarily because the missiles still sucked and the IFF systems did to. we're WAY beyond that now. have been for years. additionally, theres something to be said about how the sherman wasn't the best tank of the war because it had the most armor or biggest gun or the fastest speed, but because it did ENOUGH and was cheap and easy to mass produce. even the MOST EXPENSIVE VARIANT of the 35 is nearly 35 million dollars cheaper per unit than the 22. cheapest is $61m cheaper. means more can be built. in short, asside from a slightly higher service ceiling, the 22 offers NO real advantage over the 35 and is more expensive to do that. even the slightly shorter range of the 35 is more than completely mitigated by the fact it can carrier land and launch, therefore can go anywhere a carrier can deploy it from, while the 22 cannot.

@@moparjr89 You’re truly clueless

Thank you 😎👍

Many thanks for watching, appreciated. 👍

I think the A-10s are the MOST badass airplanes, period. I hope they stay for a while longer.

I too am not the biggest fan of the F-35 . But if they always look this good as in these stills, my opinion just might be changed. What kind of fan am I ? F-14 and P-51D ! I'm an ex Army UH-1 mechanic, Assistant crew Chief, Door gunner.

F-35A fleet avg MMHPFH is 4.8hrs, which is just not something you see in any of the teen fighters. 4th Gen typically run 12-60hrs per flight hour.

​@@MatthewPettyST1300F-14 averaged 40-60 Mx Man Hrs/Flight Hour. They were hangar queens.

They do like to throw them around. Thanks for watching Mike, appreciated 😎👍

Many thanks for watching and happy you enjoyed the video 👍

Pilots do occasionally reach out for photos. Diolch David 👍

Many thanks Greg and appreciate your kind words.

Dude you have absolutely no clue what you are talking about. The "stacking" literally comes down to how close the pilots feel like being to each other and how many jets are in the formation. Your last sentence is absolute nonsense.

@@drumsoccer100Are you the 'Oracle of Knowledge'? Returning to reality, I assume you are vaguely aware of something called 'turbulence', and that it is a GATING factor for aircraft separation distances during launches and landings within a given path, that that it is applicable in flight as well? Then again, given your derisive comment, you probably aren't. As for the 'absolute nonsense', I ask you - why WOULDN'T the military exploit the advantages afforded by their realtime communications? They will be doing just that with their Gen 6 'Loyal Wingman' program. Grow up, bud. (P.S. I worked several years in the defense industry, on inertial guidance components for fighter jets.)

@@gregparrott If your first claim was true, then we wouldn't fly in formation at all. So that's just completely false and not a factor. And for your second claim, how exactly do "advanced sensors" help someone fly closer? Spoiler alert: it's literally the opposite. Flying close means looking outside at the other jet to fly formation, not using these "advanced sensors" of yours. Grow up and stick to your own lane, bud. When you say random things about something you are not knowledgeable of, you just sound like an idiot. And no, working on guidance components for fighter jets doesn't mean that you understand how we operate.

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching
